Hughes out for 158. Fantastic knock from him. Takes him to the front of the queue. Hopefully he plays in Perth or at the very latest the 1st test of the Sri Lanka series.
So BM hates Warner, eh? Good. He's my favourite current cricketer. Almost guarantees he'll go on to be a legend.
I don't hate him at all. He's in my long term test team. I think he's another that will play 100 tests. All I'm saying is if by the end of the summer he has a grand total of one score above 50 in his last TEN tests, he should be dropped. I'd say that for Hughes and anyone else aswell.
we dont need another opener, simple
if Punter gets the chop, in comes Oozie
Hughes played #3 in County cricket. Lets not forget Hussey started out as an opener. He made his debut there at Test level.
If you're good enough to open you're good enough to bat in the middle order unless you have some major weakness against spin. Hughes does not. He can bat anywhere in the top 6.
Pleb, they were let go because the Cricket Australia contract list went from 25 to 16 or so, suddenly NSW had a heap more players than they could afford, not to mention both needed a fresh start. NSW couldnt afford them, best for both parties.
No. NSW could have let someone else go. Farcical to let two major talents go when you have an XI that's making you come second last.
